• False

Water is given off through the leaves as water vapor.

• evaporation

• transpiration

• condensation

• precipatation

Condensation occurs when water vapor_____________.

• heats up and becomes liquid water

• freezes and becomes ice

• rains on the land

What part of the water cycle does this picture show?

Analyze the diagram of the water cycle with processes J, K, L, M, X, and Y labeled. What is significant about the process labeled L?

• Condensation is the conversion of water vapor into water droplets.

• Precipitation is the release of liquid or frozen forms of water from the atmosphere.

• Evaporation is the conversation of surface water into water vapor to return to the atmosphere.

• Transpiration is the release of water vapor from plants back into the water cycle.
